WIVB in Buffalo was the first to release Patrick Kane's mugshot. Blackhawks media director Brandon Faber issued this statement to approved media Sunday evening: "We are aware of the allegations toward Patrick Kane. He is a big part of our organization and a team leader and we stand behind him. As we are still collecting all the facts, it would be premature to comment further at this time." As Tim Sassone pointed out, the Buffalo police does not list alcohol in the official incident report. Interesting, considering it was 4am, the Kane's indicated they were returning from downtown Buffalo's party street and by the looks of that mugshot, Kane appears a bit off. And there is the minor issue of Kane not being of legal drinking age. Tribune's Chris Kuc and William Lee report. Kuc points out Kane is due back in town this weekend to prepare for next week's U.S. Olympic Team orientation camp in Woodridge. Monday morning, Patrick Kane is currently the lead story on Yahoo!'s front page. You know the story's mainstream when Richard Roeper leads his Monday column with it. Summer of unsavory incidents a blow to Blackhawks image Rick Morrisey, Chicago Tribune Kane's arrest adds to off-season of missteps, bad publicity Tim Sassone, Daily Herald Mike Imrem Whatever happened in Buffalo, it's not good Obviously we'll be talking about all of this and much more in great detail on our TTMI radio show tomorrow night at 8pm. I have many thoughts, and they won't be for the faint of heart. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
